Polygenic mutation in Drosophila melanogaster: non-linear divergence among unselected strains.

Genetics - 1 Feb 1995

Mackay T F, Lyman R F, Hill W G

Abstract excerpt

A highly inbred strain of Drosophila melanogaster was subdivided into 20 replicate sublines that were maintained independently with 10 pairs of randomly sampled parents per generation for 180 generations. The variance between lines in abdominal and sternopleural bristle number increased little after 100 generations, in contrast to the neutral expectation of a linear increase; and the covariances of line means...
